Yes! You will need to register on the Melbourne Marathon website for the particular race event that you are entering e.g the 5.7km.

This is separate from your fundraising page - both need to be made.

The registration cost ranges from $40 (cheaper for under 16s) to $155 depending on the event you are entering.

Unfortunately as a small organisation we don't have the capacity to pay for everyone's registration up front however we will reimburse half of your registration cost if you fundraise $300 and all of your registration if you fundraise $500.

That really depends on you! However the more you put into this experience... the more you will get out of it (cheesy but true!). It is about how much effort YOU can afford to give, what YOU want to learn, and what YOU want to give to Climate for Change. We will be there to support whatever you do.

In terms of training, this will again depend on how far you are running and how fit you are already. Melbourne Marathon have put together some training plans that you can follow. They also have Wednesday evening and Sunday morning training sessions starting from August 6th. Depending on the appetite we can organise training sessions together too.

In terms of fundraising, it's possible to run a very successful fundraising campaign over just a couple of weeks but the more prep the better!

However, if you can pluck up the confidence to ask, we guarantee you'll be surprised at people's reactions. Not only are they likely to say yes, but they may even thank you for giving them an opportunity to make a difference! Most people love to give to make the world better! And they'll often give more than if you do an event or sell something.
